What is MediPlayer?

MediPlayer is a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which is actively distributed all over the Internet these days. As you probably already understood from its name, it’s a tool for streaming videos. However, the name of the program seems to be misspelled, so this program has attracted the attention of security experts. What do you think they found after investigation of this program? In fact, they have found that this program is commonly promoted via third-party download websites and that it is commonly disteibuted with the help of other freewares. Besides, it has been found that MediPlayer may be filled with third-party advertisements and that its main task is to make people visit affiliate websites. That’s why once installed on its target computer, it may start delivering a ton of ‘Ads by MediPlayer’ that are linked to predetermined websites. Be careful because some of the advertisements may be filled with links to really suspicious websites, which may contain fake update alerts, infected links, suspicious advertisements and similar potentially dangerous content. Therefore, unless you don’t care your PC’s security, we highly DO NOT recommend clicking on any of the MediPlayer ads. By the way, you should also take into account the fact that this adware-type program may also track you and continuously inform third parties about your online activities. It is specifically interested in your search terms, mostly visited websites, data entered in them, clicks, IP address, PC’s location, and similar non-personally identifiable information that may be used for marketing purposes. In general, MediPlayer virus is a handy tool for third parties who unfairly seek to generate income; however, it’s a useless app from the viewpoint of Internet users. Thus, if you suspect that your computer has already been affected by this adware, use Reimage and remove it right away.

How can MediPlayer hijack my computer?

This potentially unwanted program, which is also known as adware can be added to your computer after installing a freeware. Such distribution method is called ‘bundling’ and is extremely popular among third-parties and freeware developers. Are you interested why? That’s because freeware developers agree to fill their programs with ‘optional downloads’ in exchange of money. Fortunately, people are still able to install only the program they need without free additions, such as browser add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars or extensions. Nevertheless, you have to check every freeware before installing it. Read all accessible information about your selected program and make sure that there is nothing suspicious about it. After that, you should select Advanced or Custom installation option and double check every freeware. Click the ‘Next’ button only when you unmark all ‘optional downloads’. Be aware that MediPlayer redirect may be followed by other inconveniences on your PC because this adware usually spreads bundled with other potentially unwanted programs, such as PC Optimizer Pro, Gboxapp, Certified Toolbar and many others. Therefore, if you suspect MediPlayer to be hiding in your computer, you should also check the system for other suspicious apps.
